Love is in the Air at Walter Lawson Children's Home

At Walter Lawson Children’s Home we celebrate every occasion
as a sensory experience.This month our
Middle School classroom hosted a Valentine’s Day sensory party for our school
and Day Training residents.

Every guest enjoyed winning a prize at the "Heart Breaker”
arrow toss and having their picture taken at the raining hearts photo booth.Our Middle School classroom provided a
tactile table where individuals could run their fingers through confetti, hit a
switch to play love songs or shake pom-poms to hear and see the glimmering strands
dance in the light.They wrapped up the
event by giving everyone the opportunity to make a floating heart to hang on
their chair, bed, or their bedroom.

That evening residents gathered with members of a local high
school’s Honor Society to make Valentine cards and decorations to give to their
family and friends.Everyone at Walter
Lawson Children’s Home in Loves Park, Illinois, enjoyed having visitors from
the community and welcomed them with smiles!Our area high school students were so excited to be a part of this
yearly celebration and to meet our residents.

We appreciate our families, friends, residents, staff and
community members for always making our special events memorable.
